With UE EA and chakram (with Krider or spines equipped) both proc the generator buff from Bastions Will. So essentially the same krider EA build will be viable just using MS to proc the spender aspect of Bastions will.
I just found an ancient legendary Krider last night on seasonal so I'm anxious to try it out. Would like to hear opinions on if its worth it to run the DML instead of MB. Napkin math says that a perfect DML (60% HP double dmg) which means you deal 100% more damage 60% of the time(60% dmg increase) where meticulous bolts travels 30% speed(so essentially 3X the number of hits per mob (300% damage increase) If EA is still benefiting from the discipline damage buff then MB is clearly the winner.
I'm wondering, with the change to the CD reduction on "first hit", how the build performs or changes. It looked like a ton of fun, but if the CD doesn't go down quick enough, strafe just doesn't cut it.
Actually I did a quick test before and Strafe just got a huge buff because of this. The CD is getting reduced a lot quicker than before. I also tried a tier 56 rift for a bit and managed to at least keep up with the time until I hit an elite pack (grotesques + skeletons). You cannot use Shuriken Cloud to reduce the CD anymore, and FoK probably is out too if you don't want to melee. The patch notes are a little bit confusing, the new Natalya now reduced the RoV CD by 2 seconds on every cast that hits and enemy. Buriza + Bola doesn't work to get more than one proc, same for Ball Lightning.
On a further note: Seems like all the In-Geom dreams have just died

Did they remove Pants as Natalya piece? I can't gamble them for 3 days, saw all other pants at least 10+ times.Edit: GR Boss just drop one, it was just terribly bad luck.

"Keeping up on 56" - Yep, DH will be op again it seems xD
"Sets designed for T6 or GR progression" - Not sure, I doubt it. We'll see
"Plenty of time" - 5 days between 2.2 and S3 definitely is not enough time
